I would like to remove the engraving from an 1100 receiver.

What do you guys suggest? I bought some JB weld and plastic metal from crappy tire today and I going to test them out on some scrap metal. Would silver solder or brazing be a better option?

Cheers!
 
Plastic filler (JB Weld qualifies) and a Duracoat finish as you see fit.

Best of all worlds, if you ever decide you want to sell it down the road, or if someone else decides that the fill job ain't their thing with that particular piece.

Steel receiver? Silver solder or brazing would be much more permanent, TIG welding even more so. Any of those, if done well or poorly, are going to play merry hell with alignments, through warpage.

Thanks for the response!

I figured I could silver solder without warpage but annealing was a concern.

The JB outshines the plastic metal on my test pieces, so I'll probably go with that.

Should the filled area be primed in any way before Duracoating?
 
Craftsman did exactly what your contemplating on an 1100 receiver. Believe that he used some type of low temp solder. After sanding and refinishing it looked like it had never been engraved at all.

He had a thread on it, try a search in the shotgun forum.
 
Great thread. I got a savage .308 lever from a guy and the dickwad engraved his name and address on the side of the reciever with an electreic engraver!! how would anyone suggest I try ro remove this or cover it up?
